Undergraduate Summer Student Awards Program

The CFN Summer Student Awards are unique in providing undergraduate students with interdisciplinary experience, while developing their knowledge of the opportunities and challenges in caring for an aging population. Students work with supervisors from their disciplines, and meet regularly with mentors from a complimentary discipline.

Students must be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate degree program at an eligible Canadian university at the time of application, and have completed all of the course requirements of at least the first year of university study (two academic terms) of his/her degree.

Preference is given to applicants that have demonstrated current or prior personal or professional interest in older adults living with frailty and/or aging through pursuing aging-related courses or specializations, or relevant work, community service or leadership experience.
